RWB Rail Fence and Friendship Star

For those of you interested in the RWB quilt I drafted yesterday, I wrote up brief instructions and posted them on the website. I also looked at my fabric to see if I had some yardage I could grab and take to GA with me in case I have time to piece this … I’m sadly lacking on reds so I’ve ordered some one yard pieces … we’ll see if any of them work when they get here. Reds can be hard to order online and the last batch I got are more of an orange-red.

  1. I almost never use red in my own quilts. But I’m always lacking on it when I go to my stash for some. And ordering reds online….I have a lovely assortment of brick red now instead of flag red.

    Good luck, Kathy

  2. I can’t wait to see your latest RWB Rail Fence/Stars quilt all made up. I know what you mean abouts ordering reds (tho navy blue is what gives me the most trouble… some are too “green”, some too “purple”).

  3. I really loved seeing your plan for the RWB Rail Fence/Stars quilt. Great idea of mixing the blocks. That got me thinking about what other blocks could alternate with the Rail Fence blocks.

  4. That will be so pretty, can’t wait to see it! I had the same problem with reds not long ago. I ended up going to the fabric store to try and match what I had. That was not easy either.
